After their stellar first single, ‘I Knew You’, which received praise from XFM and BBC 6 Music, the Geordie four-piece Seeing Hands are back with ‘It’s True’ - a flawless piece of dreampop. Seventh chords refusing to resolve and a haze of jangly guitar riffs create an affirming wash of sound, with Kev Cuttan’s lightly-processed vocals crooning ‘Oh man do I miss you’. The sound this quartet have managed to get out of just three guitars is both textured and atmospheric, and with production and mastering credits from Alex Greaves and Brian Lucey (Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, The Shins), it’s no wonder that the results are sparkling. ‘It’s True’ was released on 25^th November - catch Seeing Hands’ launch show at the Surf Café in Newcastle on the 15^th December, or grab a local beer and see them play at Tyne Bank Brewery on the 23^rd December. - HM
